The right way to request a change

According to Eos(https://www.uogdemise.com/community/vie ... &start=105),i think,there are THREE steps to ask for a bug fix or a balance fix:

I think the best shot of you is to prove on OSI Cus will heal itself to full hp.Right now on Demise,Cus are very likely to stop banding itself when its health is at about 99%.In this case,you cant re-ride for ever unless you heal it...

The right way to counter riding swipe

• Actively unmount yourself when there is a possiblity of being dismounted.
• Immediatly heal your cu after being hit by riding swipe.Remember if your mount is fully healed once,you can re-ride it no matter how badly hurted afterwards.Its easier for mages to do this. However archers still have chance to close wound your mount,just like Silver Tiger said.
• When being hit by riding swipe and unable to heal your mount,do not panic.Find chance to cast protection then ride an ethereal-mount.Right now,when with protection on,your remount attempt cant be disrupted even by para-blow(Bama has proved its a Demise bug,but now you still can use it).
• Have a mage friend to help heal your mount right after being dismounted.

The methods above may not work every time,but they do save you time to time.

A bit offtopic

Dont take pvp too seriously.Its just a game.We are glad to see SWAT rising.Now asian nights are the most active pvp time.Many of your ppl are new to server and have bad gears.You guys will gradually be more competetive.Most time My CHN guildmates are not in voice(i usually cant log on at nights).

Numbers are always important.You cant find even numbered fights very easily these days.But if you do wanna even fights,i will gladly arrange it.We can have archers 1v1,2v2 or anything you want.We even can have OSI casting mage duels.Under OSI casting,ping is no longer a huge influence on casting.Last time i asked for an osi casting duel,one of your guildmates said:"Piss Off"....
